Rodriguez Dominates Mets in Career-Best Start
11 May
Summary
- Rodriguez pitched 8.1 innings allowing only one run.
- This was his deepest outing, reaching the ninth inning.
- The Diamondbacks achieved a franchise record with three stellar starts.
Eduardo Rodriguez delivered a masterful performance on Sunday, pitching 8.1 innings and allowing only one run against the New York Mets. This outing represented his deepest start to date, as he recorded outs in the ninth inning for the first time in his career. Rodriguez's gem was crucial in the Diamondbacks' series win.
The team achieved a franchise record with three consecutive starts featuring six-plus innings pitched, three or fewer hits allowed, and one or fewer runs allowed. This success includes Rodriguez's stellar outing, Merrill Kelly's strong performance on Saturday, and Ryne Nelson's quality start on Thursday.
Rodriguez's dominant display highlights a significant turnaround in the Diamondbacks' rotation. Despite a 2.25 ERA this season, he has shown a renewed hunger and command, looking like a vastly different pitcher than in previous seasons.
